Tires caused Kurt to go a lap down running on threads allowed the leaders to lap him after he was leading. But then something happened. A caution came out and for once in a long time Kurt got a break, and may have had a chance for a win or at least a good finish. Then.... Kyle spins, Kurt with know where to go damages the car and is out of the race. I guess that is just racing.

If it weren't for bad luck Kurt wouldn't have any luck at all. Many may say he deserves it, but at some point the guy deserves a break.

To suggest Kurts still happy after all this is doubtfull as hes far to competitive to take this in stride. Although bad things happen to lots of drivers every race, him & other SHR drivers are having a bad start for the new season despite Harvicks win already which is the highlight so far. Theres clearly a black cloud hanging over SHR when they cant finish a race with all 4 drivers, without some of them having major issues EVERY race--so far. Hopefully Fontana will change things to better-- as cant get much worse??

Last year Kurt ran with limited funds, and support.This year he is with a top tier team.Kurt is not the proud owner of JJ's lost golden horse shoe.There have been no publicized melt downs.

I would guess that in Kurt's world.... that might indicate "happy"...???

Note: The #78 was running better with Kurt last season than it is now with Truex so far and I think I said this would hold true before this season even started. What I do find shocking is the fact Kurt hasn't been able to be in a better points position now than he was last year. A lot of bad luck for both him and Kevin!
